Last night on I'm a Celebrity
Tensions were rising in the I'm a Celebrity camp on Wednesday night, when a row broke out over Dean McCullough refusing to do his chores and Oti Mabuse declared: "Shots fired!"
Melvin Odoom first aired his complaints to some of his other campmates about his partner not helping him with water duties.

At first, he was diplomatic when he said Dean is a "great person" but he admitted he was not a good person to have help him with the chores. As the campmates begun to turn on the radio star, McCullough complained: "I hate doing it. It's an awful job. I don't want to do it anymore. Guys I can't. It's not for me."
Camp leader Danny Jones ordered him to: "Get on with it mate."
Yet McCullough made more protestations and a fuss over doing his fair share of the work. Jane Moore called him out — in her words — on his "b***s***" when the radio DJ tries to justify it.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
